Anisakiasis of the colon is a rare entity as compared with gastric anisakiasis, and
its diagnosis is very difficult. We present here two cases - a 42-year-old woman and
a 30-year-old woman - of anisakiasis of the colon treated by colonoscopic removal
of the worm without surgery. The importance of colonoscopy for the diagnosis and treatment
of this disease is briefly discussed.
